A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 876 Why Arrest Her

Maybe she was just being cheap! But, wasn’t it just like this when one was in love? Piper loved Braeden so much, but she couldn’t get him, and in the end it turned into hate, and sold him out. What if it was her? Rae shook her head, if it was her, she wouldn’t! she thought that loving someone, she would love everything about him, no matter what happened, she wouldn’t sell him out! But, when she was standing on the side of ethics, this was not right!

“I know what you want to say!” Marcel didn’t stop typing, he quickly looked up at Rae, that face had a pair of dark eyes that was drawing his attention to her, they were unique, so that people could easily get lost looking at them, “This is not going to happen! Sammy is not saying anything right now, if you go and want to talk to her, sure! But this seems to help your report with Raphael, and this doesn’t make me happy!”

He told her straight up about what he was thinking, he saw right through her, she really didn’t know how to answer to that. He made her want to laugh and cry at the same time.

Marcel suddenly stopped what he was doing, then connected it to the printer in his room, and quickly, the document was printed.

Marcel didn’t say anything, so Rae didn’t see what he just printed, but she felt that it was quite a big document.

Rae thought for a while, then said, “It’s not that I want to report back to Raphael, I just want to go and talk to her, ask her, and, why did you even take her here?”

Marcel looked at Rae and the way she was worrying about the Gill family, his lips suddenly curled up, and there was a sarcastic smile, it was cold, “I took her here for my own reasons, do you want to tell me that I need to report to you?”

“No!” Rae immediately denied, “No matter what, Mrs Gill is still my neighbor!”

She felt that she needed to ask this whatsoever, even the law is ruthless, but it would care about people’s feeling under special circumstances!

“Anything you don’t need to know is none of your business to ask about, Rae, don’t think that because I treat you differently in private so you can use that as an advantage!”

Rae was squinting and pleading, Marcel was still talking to her in that kind of voice, “Even if I want to chase you, it doesn’t mean that you can be above me during work! Why don’t you take over my job as captain?”

Rae blushed, she knew what he meant, she knew that Marcel didn’t say anything wrong. Even if there was any other boss right now, they would have told her the same thing, no boss was supposed to report back to their workers.

She nodded, then got up, “Sorry, this is all my fault, you should get back to work, I will leave now!”

After Rae said that, she bowed to him, she didn’t look like she was not happy, she looked like she was sorry, and went out like that.

She still walked with her limp, but she didn’t look bad because of that, instead, she gave people a feeling that was soft but very determined.

After hearing what Rae said, and seeing the way she looked, Marcel smiled again, and suddenly yelled, “Stop!”

Rae stopped, and turned slightly, she saw how Marcel got up and came to the door.

Rae didn’t understand, “Is there anything else?”

“Yes!” Marcel was already in front of her.

He was tall, and the way he stood in front of her, there was only one foot between them, he looked down at her, she could almost smell his breath, his body scent was getting in her nose, it smelled good, not the kind of perfume smell, but from the soap in his bathroom, and the smell of men.

It was really scary, only a few days, Rae was able to distinguish Marcel’s own scent.

He was so close to her, Rae blushed, and lowered her head a little, and said in a small voice, “What is it?” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

He stared at Rae, she looked like a little girl who had done something wrong, Marcel rubbed her head with his big hand, she suddenly looked up, but he didn’t stop.

They looked at each other, his hand was still on her head, now their distance got even smaller.

Rae wanted to stop him, but she was suddenly drawn into the gentle look in his eyes.

In that moment, they were just standing there.

When their eyes met, they both paused.

Then he finally said, “You should go and see Sammy, then you won’t owe it to Raphael, no matter what, he was still your teenage sweetheart, his father was caught, he will definitely ask you. Then you can just tell him the truth!”

“I won’t say anything I shouldn’t!” Rae said.

Marcel shook his head, “You don’t need to hold anything back, he needs to know!”

Why?

Rae didn’t ask why, she knew that Marcel must have his own reasons, but Raphael also needed to know his mother’s situation, she really hoped that she had nothing to do with the whole case!

But this was just her hope, it didn’t count!

“Alright, go now!” Marcel took his hand down from her head, and it landed on her shoulder, his eyes were deep and gentle, “Try not to walk, take care of your foot, the doctor said that you need to have your foot lifted, if you walk too much it will swell up and not heal as fast!”

“Thank you!” Rae subconsciously thanked him, but she really felt touched by him.

The way he was so sarcastic with her before, she suddenly softened and went along with him, so he suddenly also turned more gentle.

Rae felt that she found a way to interact with Marcel, but she wasn’t sure if she was right.

She would try not to go against him in the future, hoping that they could interact peacefully in the future.

“Go!” Marcel’s voice softened as well.

Rae looked at him with a little surprise, but then she turned to leave.

Marcel looked at Rae walking away, and his hand fell off her shoulder, his fingertips still had a little of her warmth on them, suddenly he remembered everything from that night, the way she smelled so sweet, so clean!

In a moment, his eyes changed, he felt that his feelings to her had changed!

He thought for a while, and his lips tightened, his eyes were filled with a feeling of success.

Rae went out of Marcel’s office, and she went directly to the place where they held the suspects.

She didn’t know if she could find out anything from Raphael’s mother, but she wanted to try!

Only, before that, she needed to talk to Raphael!

Maybe only then, it would help her to question his mother.

She took her phone and called him.

It only rang twice when he picked up her call, “Rae!”

“Raphael, do you know about you mother?”

“I am just right downstairs of your office, where are you, I am coming to you!” He said.

“I am on fifth floor, come up, I will wait for you in the questioning room on the west side of the building!” Rae thought that a questioning room was better, Raphael didn’t come to her on a private matter, it was about his mother, this was work!

After they hung up, she went to the responsible person for the room, opened the door and waited for a few minutes when she saw that Raphael came in in a hurry, he rushed in like a wind, his hair was in a mess, he didn’t have that usual handsome look anymore.

Raphael looked unruly, a little scattered.

When he saw Rae, Raphael sat down in front of her, and asked about the injury on her foot.

Rae said that she was alright, only then he started talking about his mother.

“The Gill Group might also go through some crisis!!” Raphael couldn’t believe it, but he had to, his voice was filled with pain, “Rae, my parents are so done this time!”

Rae immediately started comforting him, “Raphael, maybe it’s not as bad as you think yet!”

“No!” Raphael shook his head, his eyes locked with Rae’s, his hands were clenched into fists, she was a kind girl, she was comforting him, but Raphael knew that his parents had gone too far this time, they

had killed someone, no matter who helped them there was no hope!

“Raphael!” Rae was very sensitive, she could feel what Raphael was thinking about, his worries, she knew that no matter what she said, she couldn’t make him feel better, “What do you know?”

“I am not sure, but I know that the police wouldn’t just cuff anyone for no reason, there must be a reason why she was caught!”

“We are just questioning her, this is not the prosecutor yet!” Rae said.

“I know, Rae, you don’t need to tell me these things that you tell strangers, all that doesn’t work on me!” Raphael sounded anxious, it was emotional, after he said that he immediately apologized, “Sorry, I was not trying to let my anger out on you!”

“I know that!” Rae shook her head, she could understand.

Raphael wasn’t very kind to her just now, the regret was coming up in his chest. He didn’t want to say it like that, he never wanted to hurt her.

But, he was still angry about why she didn’t love him?

If she could stand by his side, and not as a normal friend, he would be stronger than he was now, he would be calmer, but, she didn’t love him, he was sad about that, and now his whole family was about to fall apart, Raphael had no idea what would happen to his parents! He really wanted Rae to stand by his side, give him a family, he might never have a family again!

Raphael had a complicated expression on her face, Rae saw that he didn’t look good, and was very worried, but she still kept quiet.

“Rae, when Captain Hopkins took my mother, they said that she is suspected of murder, they took her in to question her!”

“Murder?” Rae asked in a high pitched voice.

“Yes! A student!” Raphael buried his face in his hands, he rubbed his face randomly, he was afraid that his mother really did that, he could almost feel that his mother did it!

“Was it Piper?” Rae suddenly had to think about Melody and Philippa.

Raphael shook his head, “No, it’s not sure yet if my father killed Piper! There is another student, it has something to do with my mom, I don’t know what exactly happened! Is there another dead student?”

Rae felt Raphael’s emotions and nodded, “There is one, Raphael, listen to me, this might be a serial killer! Two dead students, and we suspect that the two of them had a connection! With the evidence showing, Piper really had something to do with this case, but I just don’t know if her death has anything to do with this murderer!”

“So what you mean is that if my mother killed this one, then she might have killed Piper as well?”

“We don’t know that, Raphael, don’t be nervous and anxious, your mother might not be the killer. The evidence of Piper case doesn’t go against her so far, we don’t have a single evidence that is pointing to your mother, unless there are other evidence that I don’t know about”

“Rae, who died?”

“Two girls from SC Normal University and Communication University, both were very pretty. And, both were pregnant!” When she said that, she looked at Raphael, her eyes were complicated, “And both children had something to do with you!”
